JIRA contains unresolved issues with patches multiple years old.  I
think there's adequate interest in maintenance by the community
because the library is both excellent and stable, but the project has
been stuck in a
there-are-no-active-committers-so-no-new-ones-can-be-recruited
conundrum for years.  Curt Arnold discusses this at the end of a very
pertinent thread
